That is disputed; there are those who say that something cannot lose its PD-ness by being transferred through a PD-unfriendly environment. > One question: All edits of PD mappers could of course be tranferred under the > new license even without asking us.

They are not; but there is a template that people can use on their Wiki pages to give the name(s) they're mapping under. Was it "{{User}}"? Not sure. I think that before interpreting a Wiki PD dedication one would need to take a close look (Wiki user pages can be modified by anybody). Maybe we should, before we delete someone's data, do a quick check if we find him on the Wiki and he has PD'ed his data, by way of a manual process.
